O.B. Whaley Elementary School

Principal's Message

Dear O.B. Whaley Families, 

            Welcome back to another school year. A new school year always brings some changes, and this year will be no exception as I take over as your new principal.  I am looking forward to leading O.B. Whaley as it continues the success for which it is so well known.   I’m honored to be part of this community and staff.  Whether your child is continuing at  O.B.Whaley or just starting out, I welcome him/her to a year of challenges, adventures, experiences, and learning.  This year I plan to work with the O.B.Whaley staff and support them as they plan rigorous reading and math programs to ensure your child receives the highest quality education.  Your child will have extended learning opportunities through our extended day programs and our daily after-school program which we have thanks to the 21st Century grant and in partnership with the YMCA.   

           I welcome you to come to the school and meet with me.  I look forward to hearing your ideas and suggestions. My hope is that many families will take this opportunity.  In addition, you’ll get weekly newsletters from me highlighting any important information.  I also write a weekly principal’s message in these newsletters, and hope you find them enjoyable and useful to read.

            Parents+ Teachers+ Students+ Staff = Success
